No problem.
Curiosity only ever kills cats, not people.

This is going "public" anyway real soon.
Or will be closed and buried forever.


Anyway, there's potentially 350+ more people with that... um... "feature".
We'll see.

Its IRC. I use the java based interface on a page on this site but you can use MIRC or any other IRC client. The chat is hooked up to the forum somehow so you have to be a forum member to chat. Since it is IRC based the interface would be dependent on how you connect but I like the java based one - nothing extra to download.

As expected from you (and the rest of the staff), we now get the chance to open our horizons on a better community!

Well done!

Chat is open to all "Special Members". You have to register your forum name and password the first time you go into the chat and register your password everytime you go into chat. If you use the web based chat page the instructions on how to do that are at the bottom.

Here is the web based Java client

http://www.thehelper.net/forums/chat.php

IRC info

irc://irc.thehelper.net:6667/thehelper

Any IRC client will do (mIRC, ChatZilla, xchat, ...)

To be able to talk at all, you must register with your forum name.
You may use any nick that is not registered yet.
Though your forum name is probably best.

Once connected:
/nickserv register www.thehelper.net <member name here>

Should that work, you may, from then on, identify as that member with:
/nickserv identify <forum password>

In the unlikely event that would actually work, you may chat at will.

Where "at will" means the channel "#thehelper".

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
